Having your cake and eating it too. NOT so easy

I stared out the front window, trying not to stare at him,
and trying not to break down just being around him. The butterflies in my
stomach were going insane. I opened my mouth to speak and just as I did Andrews
voice filled the car. I sighed relieved, listening to what he had to say. “Jess
I know we need to talk,” he started, his voice coming out in a whisper. “Before
we figure out how to move on with us, I need to apologize. I know what I did
was wrong. I should have told you right away. My intentions were never to hurt
you, I promise that was the very last thing I wanted.” He said, looking over at
me sincerely as he waited for a traffic light to turn to green. He continued on
talking and driving, “I did not have my wedding ring on the day I met you,
because I never wear it when I work out. Then I left it off because I didn’t
want to scare you away before you got to know me….” He said sighing, “Jess, no
one has ever looked at me the way you did in that café that morning, that was a
feeling I was greedy to feel again, and I knew telling you I was married was
going to blow all my shots.”

He looked over at me for some sort of reaction, so I nodded
my head agreeing. Him and I both knew I never would have agreed to hang out
with him had I known. “Now is where it gets complicated.” He said as he pulled
into a parking spot at the deserted beach. “I don’t want to leave my family.
Leaving my wife means losing my family, my children, my home. But just as much
as I don’t want to lose them, I don’t want to lose you either. If we give up on
whatever was going on with us then I’ll have to live with the what if feeling for the rest of my life.
I want to know where things go with you. If it comes down to leaving my family
in the end, then maybe it does. But right now I need you to know losing my
family and losing you both aren’t in the cards. It is greedy, I know. But I
want both. I need both.” He whispered. Stopping and turning to face me in the
car. I turned to look at him, just staring blankly over at him. I had no idea
what to say. My mind was racing, my heart was beating out of my chest and the
butterflies in my stomach were making me nauseous.

When he realized I was frozen and speechless, he spoke
again. “Don’t be mad, but I saw you the other day with that boy. The one who
walked you home that night I was waiting for you,” he said trying to catch my
eyes with his. I bit my lip, nervously staying quiet hoping he wasn’t waiting
for an answer. “I know me being married is different then you dating, but how
is me being here with you behind my wife’s back any different than you being
here with me because his back?” he continued on.

I sighed, he had a point. Granted, it wasn’t the same as
cheating on a spouse, but it was the same in simpler terms. I closed my eyes,
my fingers running up my face and through my hair. Finally I opened my mouth to
talk. “You’re right.” I whispered. I knew he was. He knew he was. I was doing
to Cole what he was doing to his wife. And as fucked up as is seemed, losing
him and Cole both were not in the cards for me either. I wanted my cake. And I
wanted to eat my cake. God only knows if that was going to be possible but I
needed to try. I too can’t live with the
what if. “I don’t want to give up.” I said finally. “Just being here with
you, the way I feel around you right now, that’s enough proof that I need to
stay and figure things out with you.” I said, “But I don’t want to be that girl.” I said boldly. “No one can
know Andrew. I don’t want to be the mistress, and I don’t want to be the
cheater. Cole and I are just starting to get to know each other. I can’t ruin
that.” I said softly, I felt guilty mentioning Cole, but if we were going to do
this we had to be honest with each other. “I know having you, and Cole, is
wrong, but I want something with him that I can’t have with you. At the same
time in not sure I’m ready to lose you either. Only time will tell, so until
then, I guess we can continue whatever this is…”

I finally looked up, my eyes meeting his and couldn’t help
but smile at the relieved look on his face. I reached over and placed my hand
on his thigh, “sorry for being mean at the bar.” I said.

“I deserved it,” he said laughing as he leaned in a little
closer. I smiled, my eyes flickering from his lips to his eyes. I wanted him to
kiss me. I didn’t even realize how much I had missed him until I got him back
and realized what I haven’t had.

“Kiss me,” I whispered, giggling a little.

“I’ve been dying to all night,” he whispered quickly as he
leaned in and kissed me hard, his lips hungrily crushing down on mine, making
up for lost time.

I squirmed in my seat a little, moving myself to get closer
to him. Before I knew it his arms were around me and he was pulling me over the
center council and into his lap. I laughed, wiggling up against him to get
comfortable as he moved the seat back as far as he could from the steering
wheel. As the seat slowly made its way backwards I leaned down and kissed his
neck lightly, sucking teasingly on it as I felt both his hands on my hips
again, his fingers digging into me a little as he gripped onto me, grinding up
against me. I moaned against his neck softly, feeling how hard he was through
his jeans.

My hands snaked down, slipping under his shirt and running
over his stomach and chest, his muscles twitching under my soft caress. I
gripped onto his t-shirt, trying to wiggle it up when he stopped me, looking up
at me with a serious face.

“What,” I asked, my breathing matching his.

“I don’t want it to be like this the first time I have my
way with you,” he muttered through gritted teeth, sending shivers down my
spine.

I pouted looking down at him. “Fine,” I groaned, realizing
he wasn’t going to change his mind. I reluctantly climbed back into my seat, a
little annoyed but trying to let it go. He reached for my hand, holding it as
he readjusted his seat and pulled away from the beach lot.

Ten minutes and a silent car ride later we were back in
front of my house. I reached for the door handle, ready to just get out and get
in bed. I was seriously annoyed. I forgave and practically threw myself at
Andrew,risking everything with Cole
only to be denied. What the hell was that about. Just as I pulled on the handle
he locked the doors, trapping me in. I looked back at him over my shoulder,
“please, I just want to go to bed.” I whispered, almost begging him.

“Not until you smile and promise me you’re not mad,” he said
smirking when I rolled my eyes. “Jess I want this. I really do. But I want it
to be different with you. I want to show you that you’re not just sex.”

I smiled a half smile, “I’m fine,” I whispered, laughing a
little when he unlocked the door.

“Soon baby, soon,” he whispered winking as I shut the door
and he drove away.

I snuck into my house, finally climbing into bed. I relaxed
back against my pillows and before I knew it tears began flowing down my face,
and I couldn’t stop them. I was already stressed out and on top of that I was
confused as hell right now. What had I just agreed to? The one thing I needed
was a vent sesh with my girlfriends and I couldn’t even do that because Andrew
had to remain completely a secret.

I don't like Andrew at all. He's manipulative. And a POS for staying with his wife so he won't lose his family. If he's that miserable with his wife it isn't healthy for their kids to see that relationship anyway. He won't "lose" them. He'll probably see them just as much as he does now since he doesn't seem to stay in the family home much anyway.

In addition to that, unless I missed something or forgot, her and Cole aren't in an official relationship or talked about being exclusive (like I said, if they did I forgot), so she's not cheating on him or doing anything near what Andrew is doing to his wife.

Jessica is gullible and naive for believing his manipulative speech and her thoughts and actions (going through with this knowing the situation) this post made her seem insecure and not respectable, imo.

He said sighing, “Jess, no one has ever looked at me the way you did in that café that morning, that was a feeling I was greedy to feel again, "

Classic mid-life crisis. You have a wife, a family, a history, yet you still want some sweet young thing putting you up on a pedestal. Pathetic effin douchebag. Totally and completely selfish. But, he knows how to treat a lady because he as Jess feeling bad for him! Life isn't about mooning over each other. It's working together toward a common goal through the good and the bad. Sticking it out. That's hot. Everything else is bullshit!

(steps down off of pedestal) OK, I'm obviously closer to Andrew's age then Jessica's age which is why I'm reacting so strongly to this. She totally feeds his ego, and he just has no self-control. Jess is going to come out on he short end of the stick, guaranteed. mum

If you don't wanna be "that girl" don't be that girl. Not telling anyone doesn't make it all better. You're WORSE than that girl. Because you know it's wrong, you admit it's wrong and you still do it. Gross

You know it's a good read when your readers are all worked up over the characters actions!! I'm so completely appalled at her lack of self respect! And his manipulation! There were so many times I wanted to stop reading because they made me mad, but at the same time want to see what happens.

Dating multiple people and cheating on your husband/wife are completely different things. She just met Cole, they just started hanging out and so there is no commitment, no expectations and no obligations. But a married couple stand in front of their family and friends and God and make their vows. They pledge themselves to each other and vow to love, honor, respect and be faithful to each other. So in my opinion saying that a married man cheating on his wife and a single girl dating multiple people is the same thing is extremely wrong.

Well I like Andrew!! I can't wait to see where this goes and what comes of it.. I've liked him since before she found the ring, i also like this story is so different then everyone else's so I am happy to read it and can't wAit to see what is coming up!!'

I'm not exactly sure what is likeable about Andrew aside from the fact that he's supposed to be physically attractive. I found him waiting at her house with a pizza kind of creepy, actually. And knowing that he was married before Jessica did kind of kept me from being able to like him even more. He's right when he says that his wanting to be with her is completely selfish. It is. Why would you ever choose to be with someone who is completely selfish when you have Cole pining for you??

There is a difference. What they both failed to realize - when Andrew first approached Jessica, she had not yet met Cole and did not know Andrew was married. Well he did tell her up front he is not leaving his wife. She is going to ruin something with a good guy. Karma will catch up...
